Chromoblastomycosis Caused by Cladophialophora bantiana in a Renal Transplant Recipient From Delhi, India.

Abstract
A 45-year-old accountant residing in Delhi, India, presented to our dermatology clinic with a small asymptomatic plaque on the little finger of his left hand of 3 months' duration. The onset of the lesion was insidious and gradually progressed to 4 cm across at the time of his first visit. The patient had undergone renal transplantation twice (the first procedure 3 months prior and the second 18 months prior). Since then, he had been receiving cyclosporine A (400 mg daily) and prednisolone (40 mg) daily in immunosuppessive doses. The patient denied any kind of cutaneous injury prior to the onset of the lesion and any similar lesions in the past.
